In for 2. I use these a lot for search and rescue, and the last few I had stashed in the trunk were expired.

If only Woot would put them in bags, everyone would be excited again.



On-topic: chemical lightsticks last even longer if you keep them refrigerated.

RIP Trololo guy. I raise many glowsticks in your honor!

Oh no! Not a wootoff and sold out already! What is sportwoot to do? I guess they weren't ready to play with the big boys yet!

PUT ME IN, COACH.

Time to play music, methinks. Music/sport videos time?

Please tell me those were intentional .. to prove a point or something.

Yeah, I was looking at the account info and thought: "You can also choose your flattering Facebook, Twitter, or Gravatar avatar instead"... and then made a Gravatar account. I credit the CyberPub over on wine for giving me the motivation to change things up. Keeps it fresh around here.

How is it a woot-off if the items just sit there, reading "Sold Out"? I must have missed a memo...

I love (and hate) the map showing who Wooted. It's fun (and hair-pulling) to try to figure out why certain states just decided to sit one out. For example, the two states one would assume have the highest percentage of NASCAR fans -- Mississippi and West Virginia -- are lily white on the distribution map. What, was this not an honorable enough usage of the highly esteemed NASCAR brand?

FWIW: I'm in for three, before the sellout. Going on a two-week three-generation camping odyssey, and these should keep the grandbaby occupied long enough for him to go to sleep.

Maybe they just had enough glow sticks?

Sport's not playing in the Woot-off league today.

Woot: "You wanna buy some brightsticks?"

Me: (waving hand) "You don't want to sell me brightsticks."

Woot: "I don't wanna sell you brightsticks."

Me: (waving hand) "You want to go home and rethink your marketing strategy."

Woot: "Mind tricks don't work on me! Only money!"

Just goes to show your ignorance of demographics and your prejudices of 2 states that have nothing wrong with them.

Never mind; it's already been said a few times!!

Same kinda stuff as happens inside fireflies, and they seem to live ok with the stuff inside them.

yah...say that again when you find some glowsticks that died five, ten years ago. that smell is TOXIC!

i still have a box from the last glowstick party woot hosted.

Sorry for the sellout guys...I had to have 36 of these bad boys.

I have to agree; you would think they would have the foresight on a WootOff to keep all the items rolling ... I was enjoying celebrating the first new WootOff but disappointed Sports.Woot was not included.

Why not?

Even if they're non-toxic, this is a really bad comparison.

Other creatures(specifically non-mammals) do all kinds of things that would kill us or make us very sick if we ingested them.

You still shouldn't drink the glowstick juice or eat lightning bugs for that matter.

I just got my order in the mail; I ordered two packs. Problem is when I opened my box I had 7 glowsticks.. NOT two-12 packs.

I got shorted too... What gives? Three packs with 9 sticks in each, not 12. Woot? What's my play here? I'd really like the rest

Sorry about that! These items were shipped separately if you ordered more than one set. Please allow a few more days for the rest to arrive. They may also arrive in odd numbers like 7, or 9... but you should receive the total amount ordered once all packages are received. If you're still missing some, be sure to email us (service@woot.com) and let us know. We'll get it taken care of!

They would make good emergency lighting, but, I dont think they could replace a road flare. I am not too familiar with flares, though.
I cracked one of these babies last night to see how bright it was(it was also my firework) and it is pretty decent. Brighter than the average bracelet/stick that they would sell at an event.
Its been roughly 12 hours, and it has lost some of its brightness, but, it is still easily visible in the dark. I only opened this one, it has a string wrapped around it, and at one end there is a hook/loop, yes, both. I assume every other stick had these features. There is no writing or nascar marking anywhere on the stick, just the packaging.
I got all 36 of mine in one nicely stuffed package.
